7-4 Your Name, My Name
Zanpakuto: The Alternate Tale, Part 1. Unlike his master Yumichika, who refuses to show his true power in a battle, Ruri'iro Kujaku does not hesitate to fight with everything he has.
3 scenes, 47 lines
1. Before the battle
9 linesIt's been a while. How are you doing?
Oh, not bad. You're looking well.
Well, only thanks to you. I was able to get away from the cause of my stress.
Hold on, I haven't identified myself. How did you know it was me?
Oh, I could tell immediately.
The moment I laid eyes on you, I felt disgusted, Fujikujaku.
Do you mind not calling me that name? It offends me.
My real name is Ruri'iro Kujaku. If you insist on calling me otherwise, I'll kill you.
Well, okay then. Give it your best shot.
2. Before the boss
18 linesSay, you look pretty good holding that sword.
And that feather on your face, it's probably faux, but it's still a nice look.
I hadn't gotten the chance to really check you out, but so far I am loving your style.
Wh-What are you talking about?
Now, if you would make the effort to coordinate with genuine accessories, I think you'd come across even better.
Then again, you don't want to overdo it and look trashy or cheap.
Is there a point to any of this?
I've got it! My feathers are the real thing. How about I give you one of these?
Cut it out, will you?! You're mocking me, and I do not appreciate it!
Hmph. I don't know what you mean.
Well, you look hideous. Your face is the absolute worst.
Whatever, be as insulting as you like. It doesn't matter to me at all.
Do you have any idea why I took the trouble of choosing this location, far from everyone else, for our battle?
I assume it's because you don't want anyone else to see my powers.
Exactly right.
That confidence... You might come to regret it.
I never regret anything. That's just the way that I do battle, Fujikujaku.
I told you, if you keep calling me by that name, I will destroy you.
3. After the battle
20 linesYou sure talk a big game. You're kind of a weakling, you know?
You... I will never forgive you!
Oh, well. I didn't expect you to.
Come on, why don't you go ahead and give up? At least if you gave up now, I'd still be willing to let you live.
I'm never giving up to you!
Listen. Notice that Spiritual Pressure? Earlier, Ikkaku's Spiritual Pressure just disappeared, didn't it?
You people have no chance to win against us with the level of your abilities.
Ikkaku did not lose. Hozukimaru's Spiritual Pressure disappeared as well.
Hmph. I suspect that Hozukimaru tailored his power to match Ikkaku's fighting level. As you know, those two are quite alike.
But you and I are different.
You always try to hide my true nature. I'm proud to display my power anywhere.
No, don't!
I will. Tear in Frenzy...
Gahh!
Well? How does it feel to be struck by the power that you loathe?
I don't want everyone to know about this power. I wouldn't be able to stay in Squad 11.
Are you still saying that? Why are you so stubborn?
Shut up, Fujikujaku!
I see.
Ahhhhhhhhh!!!
